What are Social Determinants of Health?
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in the environments where people are born, grow, live, learn, work, play and age that affect a wide range of health, well-being, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.
Resources that enhance quality of life can have a significant influence on population health outcomes. Examples of such resources include safe and affordable housing, access to education, public safety, availability of healthy foods, local emergency and health services, and environments free of life-threatening toxins.

We’re Committed to Addressing the SDOH Needs of Our Communities
Each community has a different set of SDOH needs and, more often than not, they each have a different approach for using technology to meet those needs. And that’s OK. Our team at Contexture is flexible and prepared to do what’s best for those in the communities we serve.
Whatever the technology solution, we’re committed to making a positive impact on people’s lives by connecting healthcare and community service providers to streamline the referral process, foster easier access to vital services and provide confirmation when social services are delivered.
